I'm happy to allow links and info and the likes for this offering in place for now, but should EA make any complaints or contact me regarding, obviously i'd have to remove, as I can ill afford to have EA unhappy with TF.
Any more info, screenshots or anything like that you could post for this, including something reassuring regarding the legal status of the game?

Hi Detomah,
The emu project is totally legal. The client hasn't been touched and the server has been built from the ground up up by a team of devs who all used to play the game and are still avid supporters.
The launcher launches a proxy that redirects the client to their own servers. It's currently in a pre alpha stage, but coming on nicley. They have made their own tools to create content and improve compatability. There has been no official statment from EA, nor have EA intervened or sent any form of communication to the team.
They are doing some great work.. screenies! (the game looks old, but still plays great and Highly addictive).
